...third production and first real success. A thieves-falling-out caper movie, its characters were so overheated that the action verged on black comedy, but they were recognizable enough to retain sympathy when necessary: Kubrick here walked a much tighter rope than the one he toes in Clockwork, Sterling Hayden played a savvy gunny, Elisha Cook the pathetic hen-pecked cashier who cracks--and kills the rest of Hayden's crew. A grotesquely muscled bit-player voiced the director's point-of-view (in an incoherent Russian accent): the crook is an attractive figure when the values of traditional heroes...
Died. Carl T. Hayden, 94, the quiet, influential Arizonan whose 57 years in Congress set a record; in Mesa, Ariz. Hayden once remarked that his four-vote defeat in a college election caused him to run scared ever after. He became the state's first Congressman in 1912 and served eight terms in the House and seven more in the Senate before retiring in 1969. A Democrat who preferred cloakroom bargaining to Senate-floor oratory, Hayden became chairman of the Appropriations Committee and doggedly supported bills for Arizona land reclamation, road construction and power development...
...William M. Kunstler requested the pleasure of the Chicago Seven's company at a birthday party in honor of Black Panther Chairman Bobby Seale at their home, West Street, Mamaroneck, N.Y. This highlight of the social season gathered the "conspirators" together (with the exception of Tom Hayden, who was busy in San Diego making his own plans for the 1972 Republican National Convention) for the first time since their trial ended early in 1970. Draft beer, chips and pretzels were served, and 35-year-old Bobby was presented with a dark blue sweater. After blowing out the seven conspiratorial...
...Mack's latest sentence is the law's ingenious tribute to his skill. When Mack was brought before Los Angeles Superior Court on charges of picking $15.11 from a woman's purse, Judge Richard Hayden improvised a sentence worthy of Dante's Purgatory. In addition to serving 20 weekends in jail Mack was condemned, for the next two years, to wear mittens any time he is in a public place. "The mittens," said the judge, "must be of a texture a least as heavy as 8-oz. duck." One might as well break Artur Rubinstein...
...survey also turned up a scattering of sour gripes. The Chicago Tribune shrugged off the Sun-Times disclosures as a "rehash" because some of its material had previously been published elsewhere. Boston's Herald Traveler ignored the revelations of the rival Globe. Detroit News Editor Martin Hayden, beaten by the Knight's competing Free Press, complained that the Pentagon study was "only offered to the so-called antiwar papers." And the Houston Post did not even mention the dis closures until Attorney General John Mitchell moved against the Times, four days after the story broke. The initial reaction...
